How and Why to Keep a Training Log

A training log can help you get more from your workout. It will help you organize and save information about your exercise routine so you can work toward a specific goal.

For example, if you're training for a marathon, keeping a log can help you track how you run under various weather conditions or when you're following a special diet. You can record information about the prettiest routes if you're walking to enjoy the scenery.

Your log also can push you to work out on those days when you're too tired or you think you're too busy.

What to record

Here's a brief rundown on what information you should record:

Distance (in miles and tenths for running, walking, or cycling, and in laps or meters for swimming)

Time (in minutes, seconds, or fractions)

Intensity (in pounds, for strength training)

Other details (like split times, when helpful)

Milestones (on the way to achieving your goals)

Personal bests

Depending on your fitness and training level, you may also want to record other information concerning:

Your physical condition

Keep track of your pulse rate. Take 2 readings, 1 before you begin exercising and 1 at peak activity. Be sure to stay within your target heart zone.

Track how many hours of sleep you get. See how this affects your performance.
